Canadian music thread.

Hey Duzey, way cool.I saw Honeymoon suite last year after waiting 23 years!They rocked my socks off.
As for Platinum Blonde- geez- I had both albums knew every word to every song and saw them in concert twice, once at Maple Leaf Gardens and once at Canada's Wonderland.Oh those were the good old days.Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Hey Duzey- are you on the west coast? Been trying to track a video from the 80's by Gary O called "Get it while you can". I heard he still lives and works in Vancouver.Can't understand why he'd keep it under wraps.
Till then-Newmarket,Ontario's Glass Tiger

OK here is one guy that is so cool.I went to High School with him, had the biggest crush on him, and went to the Platinum Blonde concert at Maple Leaf gardens with him.Now he is a successful musician in his own right- May I introduce- Deric Ruttan

Yep, I'm out here on the west coast.

I haven't seen Gary O doing anything out here for years. I'm sure he's not playing anywhere local. The only video of his I remember is this one:

Shades of 45



I remember driving my mother nuts when I was younger with this band from Vancouver.

Skinny Puppy - Smothered Hope



Skinny Puppy - Assimilate

Thanks Duzey! I can rock to Shades of 45 too. Still wish I could find "Get it While you can".

More recent band Default- Count on me

Theory of a Deadman- Santa Monica

Ok this is the last one, I think-Three Days Grace, Animal I have Become.
It's a bit on the heavy side, that's why I LOVE IT!

Sorry Intrepid if you were concentrating mostly on older stuff.These bands are all Canadian though.

Hey AD, post away. This is for Canadian music. You don't even have to be Canadian to post here. Just the music has to be.

I hesitated to post this band. I worked at a radio station in '78, on air mind you, and I took my girl friend to this concert, free tickets. I guess a bass player is more exciting, we didn't leave together. I HATE that guy. Trooper- Raise a Little Hell:



A band I have no problem with, The Stampeders, Minstral Gypsy(poor quality):



And, Sweet City Woman:

There's one song I've been trying to find on vid and haven't had any luck.

OH...What a feeling...what a rush by Crowbar

That tune was a great lil party song!

Anyone know where the heck we can find it?

How about some Colin James-

By the Numbers

5 Man Electrical Band- Signs:



Absolutely Right:

Nickelback, pre-commercial tune, Breathe:



Post-commercial tune How you Remind Me:



So much talent, so much ego. Hopefully they will find their way.

Not my type of music but this lady can SING. Anne Murray- Could I have this Dance:



A nice collage, with her signature song, Snowbird:



I'd like to see her expand her portfolio. Try some Joplin. I think she could do it.

Found a newer Canadian band. Formed in Vancouver in 1999.
STATE OF SHOCK- MONEY HONEY

If you want to get into some new Canadian bands your forgetting:

Silverstein
Thousand Foot Krutch
Alexisonfire (mentioned before I think)
Three Days Grace (mentioned)
Social Code
Hedley
City and Colour

Some newer bands that would apeal to a younger audience and are all Canadian!!
CHEYA!!!!

Since I only mentioned bands before I figured I would post a couple videos for the artists!!

Silverstein - If You Could See Into My Soul


Social Code - Bomb Hands


Hedley - Trip


Thousand Foot Krutch - Move


Hope you guys enjoy!

Check those guys out!

A little harder then the stuff you have been posting,
but still they are good Canadian bands.

As well as Billy Talent, who I forgot to mention

For my money my favorite Canadian music groups are:
1. Annihilator
2. Rush
3. Eidolon
and 4. since the Drover brothers play with Dave Mustaine now I'd have to say that Megadeth (my favorite band) is at least half Canadian.
